GERMAN VIEWS OF FOREIGN

AFFAIRS.

The Times correspondent write onder date Berlin, 5th May-d

As might have bean anticipated, desparate attempts are being made in Berlin to reoom, mend Gorman friendship to Russia, both in connection with the rapprochement between England and France and with reference to the question of the "open door" in Manchuria, If Prince Bismarck were still living he would doubtless once more remind his countryman of the adage, Qui trop embresso mal étreint. The endeavour is being made to win recognition from Russia for the alleged refusal of Germany to participate in the remonstrances addressed to the Russian Government by other Powers. The British Press is represented as reproach- ing Germany with hor passive attitude in regard to Manchuria. I do not think that

ony such reprunchies bays been addressed to Germany on this score or that she was now expected t› fake any steps. It has only been pointed out that she is not one of the Powers which is in a position to exhibit an interest in the question of the "open door" in Manchuris, Berlin is, perhaps, no longer a "straps of

ONE MORE WEEK.

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY

IS PASSING.

In sending to Chins an allotment of the Tenth Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, The Times has afforded an exceptional opportunity to subscribe for the work on very advantageous terms. The prices in China. are the same as the prices in London, and all charges for sea-freight and for landing and Customs charges are paid by "The Times." In addition to these concessions, arrangements were made with Messrs. Kelly & Walsh, Limited, to accept subscriptions on the monthly payment plan, and to receive payments month by month. Subscribers in this country are therefore saved the trouble of making frequent small remittances home, and the books (and a book-stand if desired) are brought directly to their homes, and delivered to them for a preliminary payment of only twenty dollars. So remarkable an undertaking could, in view of all the circumstances, only be possible temporarily, and could apply only to a limited number of copies. It is gratifying to know that a large number of subscriptions have been already received, many of them from the educated Chinese of Shanghai and the outports. But the time has forbosrance. It is surely admissible to remind now come when this offer must be withdrawn, and it will be withdrawn after one more week. There is therefore uo the British public that Germany is prepared to

THE REVOLVING BOOKCASE.

It is a prime necessity of its very existence that the Tenth Edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica should be a work of ample proportions, a great library in itself. This means shelf- roon, and shelf-room is not always available. Bat the especially constructed revolting bookcase of quartered oak minimises the space occupied, and the volumes arrange themselves in it so that they can easily to reached. A limitad number of revolving cases has been sent from Londen especially for subscribora in China.

Black Edinburgh Edition) can be supplied with the Supplementary volumes, 11 in number, at 40 per cent. discount if they subscribe now.
